“Sex Tape” Is “Sexcruciating”
So saith Todd McCarthy of THR, and his views are echoed around the blogosphere: ‘Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel can’t save this ineptly directed, preposterously plotted raunchfest. This high-concept, low-brow comedy about a couple whose homemade sex video threatens to get out there for the world to see is mostly about what’s below the belt, but also seems to want to be family-friendly in a perverse sort of way. The film’s one-joke nature makes it an easy sell for Sony, but director Jake Kasdan never finds the right tone or, um, rhythm for an intimate encounter you increasingly wish could just be a quickie.’
